It may be more about modifying the resonances than absorbing them. It may also be about lifting the SB3 an inch or so above a grounded chassis (if it happens to sit on another box). Or it may be placebo. I'm now going back and forth between two ways the SB3 is placed, and I'd say there is a pretty marked difference in sound. (Using digital out) I need to "confirm" when I can play at normal levels though. Possible reasons? Who knows.. I will not rule out placebo any time soon, that's for sure. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
